Fine, so how do we proceed from here? I presume that the bug triggers when the bidi cache limit of 50000 elements is reached (or maybe MAX_BPA_STACK). Turn off BPA temporarily, for the current line or paragraph, when this occurs? Or for the entire buffer, on the grounds that it's hardly right-to-left text anyway?
